  • فهم تو چون باده‌ی شیطان بود  ** کی ترا وهم می رحمان بود

  • این دو انبازند مطرب با شراب  ** این بدان و آن بدین آرد شتاب

  • پر خماران از دم مطرب چرند  ** مطربانشان سوی میخانه برند  660
  • They that are full of crop-sickness feed on the song of the minstrel: the minstrels bring them to the tavern.

  • آن سر میدان و این پایان اوست  ** دل شده چون گوی در چوگان اوست 
  • That one (the minstrel) is the beginning of the (lover's) course, and this (tavern) is the end thereof: the witless (lover) is like a ball in (the sway of) his polo-bat.

  • در سر آنچ هست گوش آنجا رود  ** در سر ار صفراست آن سودا شود 
  • The ear goes (inclines) to that which is in the head: if there is yellow bile in the head, it becomes black bile.

  • بعد از آن این دو به بیهوشی روند  ** والد و مولود آن‌جا یک شوند

  • The minstrel began (to sing) a slumberous verse—“Hand me the cup, O Thou whom I see not.

  • انت وجهی لا عجب ان لا اراه  ** غایة القرب حجاب الاشتباه 
  • Thou art my face: no wonder that I see it not: extreme proximity is a mystifying veil.

  • انت عقلی لا عجب ان لم ارک  ** من وفور الالتباس المشتبک 
  • Thou art my reason: no wonder if I see Thee not, on account of the abundance of the intricate perplexities (of thought).
